WOULD YOU RATHER--Boarding School Edition

LC. Had a great interview.

Interlachen or Walnut-Hill?

Interlochen. Iā€™m not sure why because I donā€™t know a lot about it!

Colorado Rocky Mountain School or Putney?

I havenā€™t heard of Colorado Rocky Mountain, so Iā€™ll go with Putney.

Choate or Andover?

@catinthehat579 Such as what languages?

Cate. The students seen very close together as well as with faculty. :slight_smile:

Tabor or Taft? > Looking from an artsy point of view?

@GSchools German, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Ancient Greek. They go beyond what I consider the ā€œstandardā€ Spanish, French, Chines, Latin. Blah blah, boring hahaha.

Tabor. But I donā€™t know about the Art. I just think all the water sports and marine biology is cool.

Hawaii Prep or Maui Prep?

Honestly, I donā€™t know a thing about them. Maui Prep sounds cooler though.

Thacher or Loomis?

Thacher. Much nicer weather.

Chatham Hall or Dana Hall?

Thacher. The dorms look nicer than Loomis.

Choate or Exeter?

Oops. My mistake. I didnā€™t see the comment above.

Chatham Hall. I think it has a much better community. I also liked how graduates (I personally know a few) said that they had many opportunities to try new things.

Choate or Exeter?

Big red because Iā€™m going :slight_smile:

Andover or Hotchkiss?

Hotchkiss. Because I liked the atmosphere there better.

St. Georgeā€™s or George School?

St. Georgeā€™s, but I donā€™t know either schools very well

Lawrenceville or Deerfield?

Deerfield. I donā€™t know how it was like for others, but Lawrenceville was just had a cold cold atmosphere, but it was just not the fit for ME. It may be the perfect school for others.

Miss Porterā€™s or Loomis?

Loomis. There is something offputting about MPS for me, Iā€™m not sure why.

Hockaday or Emma Willard?

Actually let me amend my answer, I forgot about Loomisā€™s awesome Global Studies program and other off campus programs like CitiTerm. That is why Loomis.

Hockaday or Emma Willard?

@catinthehat579 , could you explain what is offputting about MPS? I am curious :slight_smile:

I think Hockaday has a better school atmosphere than Emma Willard, but I liked Emmaā€™s admissions committee better. Still, I would go with Hockaday because if I personally like schools that have former students who are welcoming.

MPS or Emma Willard?

  • no if between "because" and "I", sorry about the typos

@GSchools Itā€™s just a vibe I got. I canā€™t really describe it. Thatā€™s why I changed my answer to something positive :slight_smile:

Emma Willard. I liked the community vibe I got.

Westover or Madeira?

Westover. I LOVE the Friday nights at Westover! You get to go to the mall or watch a movie on a FRIDAY night which is quite unusual. On Sundays, there are day trips to amusement parks and many many other fun activities. I know a junior at Westover and she is amazingly happy! Also, Iā€™ve heard that Madeiraā€™s dorms are small as in how many students they house but also the size. Small dorms = :frowning: but Iā€™m sure the academics are great.

Yes, I know, as you can see, I am crazy about Westover and am sort of biasedā€¦but it is an awesome school. Trust me.

Groton or Choate?
